      Global Soil Security Symposium

<http://cl.exct.net/?qs=0895a09abf883506eec4008772a6cc23824ae67ed414da48cc2681564e0714199fbc2ed94d562e91>

 Soil security requires maintenance and improvement of the soil resource to
meet global challenges to produce food, fiber, fresh water, to contribute
to sustainable energy production, adapt to climate changes, and to maintain
biodiversity and human health.

 Those concerned with achieving soil security recognize that attainment
involves scientific, economic, and political engagement to effectively and
credibly inform political and legal frameworks and implement appropriate
actions.

 Attendees will include experts and innovative thinkers from a range of
disciplines including agricultural and resource economics, sociology,
information technology, soil science, agronomy, and policy.

*  Attend, present, and contribute to the conversations and discussions
around the five dimensions of soil security.*
